Just a small town girl...wait no. That is a Journey song. Katie Sluiter is a small town girl, but she is far from living in a lonely world. She is a middle school English teacher, writer, mother, and wife. Life has thrown her a fair share of challenges, but her belief is that writing through them makes her stronger.

When I leave for work in the morning, my two are usually somewhere between asleep and “just getting up.” If I spend any time with them, it’s to change a diaper – seldom do I have any more time.

So, when I come home from work at the end of the day, I swear, they’re bigger . . . like, measurably bigger. Heck, now, carrying CJ up the stairs leaves me more winded than most of my lunchtime workouts.
